[Vision2020] Kibbie Dome To Become Pigouts

[Tom Hansen]

Bear -

Although Vision 2020 does make an excellent "sounding board", if you want 
something done about your complaint, may I suggest . . .

The "Public Commentary" portion of the next Moscow City Council session, 
scheduled for 7:00 PM in the council chambers of City Hall on April 6, 
2009.

I'm not saying that the city council responds immediately to every 
complaint.  One thing is for certain, though.  Airing your complaint 
before the city council is far more pro-active than airing it before 
Vision 2020.

How about it?
